They took the baby to church. It Is very unusual Id the city to take baby to the church, and the baby, ordinarily good humored, began to be fretful and cross. He did not like his surroundings. He was elaborately dressed, and be was too warm. Wben the choir sang or the organist played baby was quiet, but when the minister bej,en to read the Scripture lesson the baby squalled. The mother tried to soothe him. The father took him and Jumped him up aud down, maD fashion. That sufficed for full three minutes, and then baby protested. The congregation was disturbed. Eyes were focused on the mother. The preacher paused in his reading. Then the mother, with father gathea ing up the wraps, retired in disorder to the church parlors. The youugster was big, and. given a fair chance, his lusty lungs raised a tremendous howl, the howl of health and vitality. And the nervous mother said, "Oh, 1 sometimes wish baby would be quiet for one whole day!" Which Is one picture. Here is another: Go down into the city slums. Go through the rickety tenements. Babies, a multitude of babies, are -there. But These babies do not cry! Their pinched faces for the most part are pale and stolid, save where a hectic flush, telltale, shows on cheeks here and there. They are not clothed Id purple or fine linen. Bundled in old rags, they are disposed in. dingy corners or on filthy mats. They do not cry or laugh. That requires vigor. The tenement babies do not live and thrive. They only exist. And the doctors tell you that seven out of ten of them die, especially in the summer. Tou see, milk is high, especially when you buy by the pint or even half pint, and the babies lie quiet and slowly starve to death. Could the mother of that lusty baby boy that cried in church see these babies she would repent her desire that her healthy boy be quiet if but only for a day. Healthy babies will cry. They are built that way. Down in the tenements they do not cry because they have not the strength. They can only whimper their discontent. Poor babies of the poor! Would you want your healthy, cleanly, well nourished babe, nervous, worried mother, to be like those babies of the tenements? Hats In Church. "Time was," says the London Chronicle, "when men wore their hats in church, and Pepys evidently consldered it an unnecessary piece of strictness to insist on the bare head in church. In his diary for Nov. 17, 1661. he has the entry. To church and heard a simple fellow upon the praise of church muslque and exclaiming against men's wearing their hats on in church On Sept. 28 following he went to the French church at the Savoy, where 'the minister do preach with his hat off. I suppose in further conformity with our church. "Probably it was about this date that the custom of removing bats In the church began. " To freesse a iirimt thing means t most minds to kill it, yet all hard; plants can be frozen without being in Jured. So an many insects if they are not broken while in that brittle state. Loudon Punch once suggested even that human beings could be frozen without harm and said that this would be a convenient way of disposing of rtlVf-i lr! ? w railway trip.

SMOKE.

When' the last great snow came, we all found out a thing which we had long suspected about Richmond. It was a terrible shock to find that the town is growing dirty. For Richmond has always been so spotless that we have saved cleaning bills. Richmond is still a bright and shining place compared to the most of the towns in the country.' It is the first remark made by the man who gets off the train. It is an asset. Smoke means business and vice versa but we can still keep our old traditions. Main street between. Fifth and Sixth was a mass of smoke at eleven o'clock on Friday morning. And other parts of town have citizens who could tell about the conditions in their neighborhood if they would.

The situation is not that the smoke Is so bad, but that right now while we know what it is to be clean is the time to keep it so. Besides, smoke means faulty combustion waste. A LITTLE MORE. . Yes, the Ballinger investigation is going on. Day by day, damaging evidence is brought forward. The testimony of Garfield and Davis has put the finishing touches on the story of Glavis and Pinchot. This Is all the more damaging to Ballinger because the men are not only possessed pf full information, but because they have not been active against him. Davis in fact was a reluctant witness.

Garfield's testimony proved that Ballinger, after he had left the service of the government, became attorney for the Cunningham-Guggenheim group. This in spite of the fact that it is contrary to law for a former - government officer to become attorney for claimants. Beside this, as attorney he placed on file with Garfield, a false affidavit declaring that the Guggenheims had no interest in these claims. It was brought out the other day that the Guggenheims had an option on those claims for months pr'or to the time that Ballinger filed the false affidavit. This may have been a mistake. As attorney for the Cunninghams he would of course not have access to the facts of the matter. At any rate he was only an agent. But the agent is now Secretary of the Interior the man who introduced the false affidavit! Ballinger told President Taft that he had acted under the advice of the director of the reclamation service in restoring the water power sites to the public entry. This was heralded over the country a few months ago as proving what a very much better official Ballinger was than Garfield. But Davis is the director. And Davis testified that he had never made such a recommendation. In fact he opposed it.

Mr. Pinchot stated that Ballinger had deceived the President and proved it. Glavis stated that Ballinger deceived the President and proved it. And here is further proof.

A DISTINCT ADVANCE. "The commission form of government is making so much headway because it is simple, direct and enforces responsibility. It may. not be the last word in muniriil governmental machinery, but it represents a distinct advance. It introduces the short ballot, it abolishes arbitrary ward lines, it fastens responsibility for administration on a few officials who cannot dodge the issue." From an interview with Clinton Roger Woodruff in the Kansas City Star.

Clinton Rogers Woodruff, known at home and abroad, not only as an authority on the theories of government, but as a worker for better practical conditions, has been out in Kansas. He looked over the commission form of government And he said: "It may not be the last word in municipal governmental machinery, but it represents a distinct advance."

When that is said it is quite sufficient. What we are to believe of Commission Government is not that it is the final form, but that it is the best yet. We have had little previous experience in city government. Boston did not get a city charter till 1S22. And why? Because we have had no large cities. We say that the city is a corporation yet we forget that the corporation itself is a new thing. The city for the people is coming. It must be an evolution. Commission government is a step in advance because it places the power in the hands of the people. As to the exact provisions necessary to accomplish the ideals of the framers of commission government, we must have experience which means partial failure. These failures must be considered as necessary a part of the evolution as the principles themselves. Gradually, by experiment, the perfected form of commission government may come.

And will it be final? We hope and we hope it never will be for we not grow, we rot.

There will, we hope, be a better form of government than commission government. In the meantime it remains the next step toward greater progress. It is a step forward for the people.

SCHOOL UNIQUE ONE Pennsylvania Company Has Institution to Train Shop Apprentices. WHAT ARRANGEMENTS ARE Unique among railroad schools is that which has just been established at Altoona, Pa., by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, the management of which has arranged with the Pennsylvania state college to send professors to Altoona two days a week to give instruction to apprentices employed In the railroad shops. Special quarters have been constructed for the school rooms. The plan with which the Pennsylvania Railraod company is experimenting is to educate apprentices along the lines of work which they are following with the view that this instruction will result in their becoming' better and more efficient workmen. At the same time, their records in the school will give the employing officers a better opportunity to judge of their qualifications. From the ability shown in the school and witu the records In the shops, the officers can determine upon the fitness of the apprentices for advancement in the service. The prolessors will -make a monthly report on the progress made by each one attending the sc-.ool. The membership of the first class will be composed of apprentices of the ' fourth year who have shown ability in their work and a disposition to better! their education. It will be optional: with the young men whether or not

not the last word has not been said must keep on growing. When we do

they will take the course, but after entering the school attendance will be compulsory. The first class will be limited to thirty apprentices. The course of instruction, while not definitely determined upon, will, in a general way, consist of the various ele mentary principles of mechanics, mechanism and materials, and simple com putations based upon these subjects. The school was opened on March 1st, and will continue in session until the first of June. Sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays, two hours each day, from one o'clock to three o'clock. ' The Brown Rat. The brown rat is practically omnivorous.

Wayne, Ind., March 14.- The ! county spelling match came to a sud - den and unexpected end when Roy Worden. a 13 year old pupil of the ' . ,, -.,,, v, . , . . Allen County Orphans home school, came to grief through overeagerness. To nothing else than the lad's eageruess was due his failure to remain upj much longer than he did.

disqualified. Consequently the first prize went to Miss Ruth Sheehan, a 13 year old school girl of Monroe township.

Watson and Hemenway Read the Signs Realize That 75 Per Cent of Indiana People Are Opposed to Tariff and Will Not Monkey With the Platform Indiana Gossip.

(Palladium Ppcclal Indianapolis. March 14. While democrats, loquacious dopesters and others have been worrying a great deal about the trouble which the republicans will h3e in adopting a stale platform when they meet here in convention April 3. authentic information has come forward in the last few days which supports the belief that the Republican platform will be adopted without any great wailing and gnashing of teeth and without show of arms or bloodshed. This authentic Information is a statement made by a man who is close to James E. Watson and James A. Hemen way ,who are known as the iro-Payne-AlliVi tariff Kill .n..,.t,ti..nn3 Tn.li .taement. which, it is beiieVed. comes straight, is that Watson and Hemenway and their friends will never attempt any action in the state convention toward an indorsement of the tariff bill because they believe that th ,,mrilr nf th -nni,i nt stand for It. see How the Land Lies. While Watson and Hemenway have been in the East much of the time recently. they have kept in pretty close touch with the populace of Indiana, and it is the common understandine they exist here. It is stated also, that from their observations, they concluded that 7." per cent of the people of Indiana, both Democrats and republi cans, are strongly opposed to the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and that the state of mind of the remaining per cent is not such as to make them valuable allies in a fight for the upholding, of the tariff bill. When these conclusions were reached, or rather when these conditions were revealed to Hemenway and Watson, it is understood, they concluded that any fight which is to be made for 'the tariff bill in Indiana must be made crarinallv and in a most, guarded man-i " ' " . . - , ,,, , j. . . ideas down the throats of delegates' who come to the state convention. In frt it is said Mr. Hemenwav remark-! ed before leavine Indaina that there would he a better feeline toward the tariff bill later. Lee Has Been Gadding. State Chairman Lee has been travelJng over the state considerably since he has opened headquarters here, Chairman Lee is known to be in sympathy with the Ideas of Senator Beverldge on the tariff question, but he has had his weather eye out and while he refuses to discuss the subject, it is understood that he had found in sections of the state where he has visited a wholesome and encouraging sentlment. These and some other things make it apparent tnat tne great scrap wnicn has been predicted for the state convention will prove to be mostly talk, The Lincoln league is one of the strong political organizations of the state, The same prediction was maae Deiore j the league held its annual meeting re - i cently at Columbus. It was said that

the league would be hopelessly di- ea the governor, vided when it came to adopt resolu-, uow om, you age t, g0verntions. But this did not prove to be 0Ty pai(j Huntsman.

the case. The resolutions adopted there were not a slap at President Taft, and yet they were entirely satisfactory. They were adopted and there has been little talk about them since. There is no doubt, or course. Dut tnat the tariff question will be thoroughly discussed when the delegates to the state convention arrive. There is no need to mince words about this, because it is admitted by the republicans But that there will be any attempt eith-j er successful or unsuccessful to jam j into the platform an indorsement of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is not at all probable, statements of various democrats and dopesters to the conj trary notwithstanding. ! Remaining Under Cover. n-u t.,. rBratton of Angola that he Is a candidate on the republican ticket for judge of the appellate court from the northern district of Indiana, fills every place on the ticket with a candidate for nomination except that of secretary of state. Charles F. Remy also has- been brought into the gossip for this nomination recently, but it is known that Mr. Remy has never given the matter serious consideration. Some of the friends of A. G. Cavlns, assistant attorney general have been hoping that he will withdraw from the race for attorney general and seek the nomination for secretary of state. It is understood though, that no encouragement along this line has been received from Mr. Cavins. There will, of course, be a candidate for secretary of state, but no one Just now seems to

know who it will be.

state heads the ticket and if the ticket is defeated, of course he is regarded as leading the downward march. And if the ticket wins he does not gain so much because the office of secretary of state is no better either in a financial or an honorary way than several other state offices. It is this condition that causes the lack of candidates for this nomination. A Hanly-Minton Break. That there is a break between Former Geovernor Hanly and R. C. Minton attorney for the Indiana anti-saloon eague, who have worked together for a long time, for temperance reform Is no longer denied. The statement of Mr. Minton recently that he did not see the brief which was prepared by the tormer governor's law firm in the petition for a rehearing of the McPherson case before the supreme court in which the county option law is at state, is only a part of the trouble. Mr. Minton, it is said, would not have cared so much about having the brief slipped by him if the argument in the brief had been satisfactory to him. Inasmuch, though, as his name is printed on the brief as one of the attorneys

in the case, and he Is directly opposed to some of the argument In the brief, he is not very well pleased. There Is a possibility that some time he will be arguing another case before the supreme court and that his argument will be directly opposed to that in the Haalv brief. But when he Marts to make such argument it will be pointed out to him that he is inconsistent because of the argument presented in the Hanly brief and for which he will be held responsible. One of the contentions of those who

say the option law is unconstitutional is. that the people can not suspend a

law and that under the option law the statement on tin election of the secpeople do suspend the liquor license retary at the convention Saturday, law of IT.'k The argument in the The Tagsart people had agreed on llanly brief is that the people do not E. T. Brown for county chairman and suspend the liee'se law because, under stale senator Salem Clark for vue the option law, the saloon man has a chairman, but it was said that they right to appear for his day in court, had left the place of secretary open. Mr. Minton looks upon this as a fool- However, a short time before the couish ar ment. t veution opened, it developed thaf the Mr. Minton contends that the license Taggart clement had agreed on CharW law is not suspended by the people.
